Our Story

This is the story of how we became happy owners of the Holman House Bed & Breakfast in Pittsburg, Texas...

Running in the corporate race for 30+ years, we made the decision to follow our dream of running our own bed and breakfast. For years we asked ourselves how to get off the stressful fast track of corporate life and actually take time to enjoy each other, our families and life in general. With our six children each married and successfully established in various parts of the country starting their own families, we were ready to start pursuing our dream of owning a B&B.

Focused on relocating from the big city hustle and bustle, it was important to us to become truly a part of a community. We searched for the perfect location. Pittsburg is that community, where people wave to you on country roads and greet each other politely on the street. The pervasive sense of commitment to each other and to the town is evident. Pittsburg is rich with culture and history and the community is proud of both!

We love people, we love serving with a gracious attitude and we enjoy watching people smile over simple courtesies. We enjoy all sports, especially football! Fishing ranks up there with favorite pastimes as well as traveling all over the world. Having said that, we also enjoy the arts, live theatre, and wide variety of music from hard rock, to country, to classical. Feel comfortable singing at the Holman House (if you can’t sing good- just sing louder!).

Laughter, and helping others laugh is absolutely our most enjoyable activity! We both have a sense of humor (which should come with a warning label as you never know when the corny jokes will appear)!

The Holman House reputation and it’s historic place in Pittsburg makes it one of the best destinations in Texas.

Guests entering our stately front door are immediately impressed by our beautifully appointed parlor. Attention to detail and comfort is evident throughout the home, which is decorated with special touches designed to enhance our guests' stay. Relax on the second floor balcony or feel free to use the back deck, complete with a gas barbecue grill.

The Holman House is perfect for private events, parties, meetings and weddings.

In order to cater to those who can’t quite let go of business, we provide Wi-Fi Internet access in every portion of the property. You may use us as your business concierge service if needed: scan, copy, mail, whatever meets your needs.

All of the rooms are equipped with the most modern conveniences; flat-screen TVs , Direct TV with sports package and movie channels. Upon request, guests have access to Blu-Ray DVD players and over 100 movies in our DVD library.

We have very comfortable beds with luxurious linens and lots of pillows. Each room/suite has it’s own private full bathroom.

We provide access to 24-hour coffee and tea, bottled water, and snacks. A private refrigerator is available upon request.
